SUMMARY OF
EXPERIENCE:
David Beneke is a senior structural engineer with specialist skills in
finite element analysis. Upon graduating in 1990 he joined Hyder
Consulting and was involved in the design of large commercial
developments, high rise buildings and towers. He joined Cardno in
1995 and was involved in complex computer analysis using finite
element analysis as well as product research for a number of
Australian companies. He has had experience with sophisticated
modelling and analysis techniques (MSC.FEA, MSC.AFEA and
Strand7) and used them for a various range of structures including
those affected by harmonic response, non-linearity and buckling.
David is currently a Director of David Beneke Consulting and is also
a Registered Analyst (Advanced) with NAFEMS (National Agency
for Finite Element Methods and Standards).
